These are two of my favorite records of the last decade. A bargain that borders on suspicious. Don’t miss out!

Taking the bus downtown tonight 😎

This coming from a man who would throw every single body in the world in front of him to save his own life, and who complains about literally everything.

NEW RELEASE Teengenerate (JAPAN) - Live at the Empty Bottle 10/5/95 Oh shit, a new TG 12" vinyl release. This is THEE shit people. The band that this Garage-Punk house is built upon. My favorite fucking band! hozacrecords.bandcamp.com/album/teenge...

Here’s a piece I wrote about 3 incredible bands in Portland right now upstarter.com/shows/amusem...

The “Minnesota Hardcore” documentary released on Twin Cities PBS a couple of years ago was so well done! Here’s the link that includes all 7 episodes in its one-hour-and-forty-six-minute glory.

Pronouncing JASON X so it rhymes with Nasonex

Tonight

For a homophobe Kershaw sure loves getting fucked by hot sweaty Philadelphians

More of this kind of talk from our military. Play it by the book. I know most of these people don’t want to be frontline henchmen for unnecessary conflict.

A week from today. If you’re anywhere near Portland, don’t miss it. Three unbelievably great local bands. Can’t wait

BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW. While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

journalist and former Atlantic Records A&R Tim Sommer - "The Gits were an angry, inflamed slinky fully in tune with and tuned by the Bessie Patti Smith of her time, truly the only singer who could summon Joplin, Poly Styrene, Sam Cooke, Iggy Pop, and Ian MacKaye all in the same goddamn song."

We’re here defending Tabor Castle against the lawless hoards of antifas

Used CD pick ups today, most of which were out of the dollar bin

Now listening. Recorded in 1997 for a Warner Bros subsidiary, and shelved for 28 years. Finally available, and worth the wait.

Unearthed some 90s bling

Econochrist - new regression youtu.be/Q-DKlZnwRYk

Razorcake 148 featuring Muscle Beach, Nature Boys, S.O.H., Shame Banger, and Hail Murray Bowles razorcake.org/razorcake-14...

Happy birthday to the Judgment Night soundtrack (1993) and Mama Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J (1990 - though some places say it came out on 8/28, most say 9/14). Two big records for me when I was a teenager.

Timeless

Even in these dark and frightening times, we can still afford ourselves the luxury of Car CD Updates (edition 9/11/25)

Am guessing Republicans and the media will be talking a lot more about Charlie Kirk than they did about Minnesota Democratic politician Melissa Hortman, who along with her husband was killed in an act of political violence by same perpetrator who tried to kill Dem John Hoffman and his wife.

Morning jams

I do not want to watch your podcast.

Slip Sunday

Trying to not ruin the new Amusement song with too many repeated listens, but I can’t stop. It’s such a treat when a band can still blow your hair back like this in middle age. amusement2.bandcamp.com/track/lost-i...

the Democratic Party strategy of trying to find common ground with old people who click on phishing links is working out great. keep it up, proud warriors for democracy

Garage snapshots. Don’t tell me I don’t have varied tastes

By far my most listened to release this year

This looks hard as hell. What an amazing restaurant.

Amusement tonight @Show Bar in Portland. 10/10! Super nice/cool dudes too. Such great songs, all of them.

I lost my CD of this years ago, and just picked up a copy of the LP from Dischord. Holds up! Fun hearing these songs again after so long.
